mindspore.ops.EditDistance

class mindspore.ops.EditDistance(normalize=True)[源代码]

Computes the Levenshtein Edit Distance. It is used to measure the similarity of two sequences. The inputs are variable-length sequences provided by SparseTensors (hypothesis_indices, hypothesis_values, hypothesis_shape) and (truth_indices, truth_values, truth_shape).

\[\begin{split}\operatorname{lev}_{a, b}(i, j)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \max (i, j) \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad \ \text { if } \min (i, j)=0 \\ \min \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \operatorname{lev}_{a, b}(i-1, j)+1 & \\ \operatorname{lev}_{a, b}(i, j-1)+1 & \text { otherwise. } \\ \operatorname{lev}_{a, b}(i-1, j-1)+1_{\left(a_{i} \neq b_{j}\right)} \end{array}\right. & \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Where the \(a\) indicates the hypothesis and the \(a\) indicates the truth. For ease of understanding, i and j here in may be considered as lengths of a and b.

Warning

  • Unorded truth_indices or hypothesis_indices might lead to expected result, so it is suggested to make sure truth_indices and hypothesis_indices are both in ascending order before calling this API.

Parameters

normalize (bool) – If true, edit distances are normalized by length of truth. Default: True.

Inputs:

  • hypothesis_indices (Tensor) - The indices of the hypothesis list SparseTensor. With int64 data type. The shape of tensor is \((N, R)\).

  • hypothesis_values (Tensor) - The values of the hypothesis list SparseTensor. Must be 1-D vector with length of N.

  • hypothesis_shape (Tensor) - The shape of the hypothesis list SparseTensor. Must be R-length vector with int64 data type. Only constant value is allowed.

  • truth_indices (Tensor) - The indices of the truth list SparseTensor. With int64 data type. The shape of tensor is \((M, R)\).

  • truth_values (Tensor) - The values of the truth list SparseTensor. Must be 1-D vector with length of M.

  • truth_shape (Tensor) - The shape of the truth list SparseTensor. Must be R-length vector with int64 data type. Only constant value is allowed.

Outputs:

Tensor, a dense tensor with rank R-1 and float32 data type.

Raises

TypeError – If normalize is not a bool.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend
